The Wireless Power Consortium was formed in 2008, to promote the Qi wireless charging technology in consumer products. It looks like someone at the WPC has messed up, as the unannounced Galaxy S8 Active has appeared on the site.

The below picture gives us our first look at the S8 Active, and it definitely looks sleeker than the previous models. It doesn't have the same edge-to-edge Infinity Screen, but the top and bottom bezels look roughly the same size. In fact, it looks a lot like the LG G6.

The page also reveals that the S8 Active's model number is 'SM-G892A,' and as you might expect from being on the WPC's website, it supports Qi wireless charging. Unfortunately, there's no side photo, so we don't know for sure how hefty it will be.

Like a Geeeeeeeeeee 6.......bought in a heart beat....made it mine....

LG has an Active like phone as well but it's a midrange device so no.

The G6 is default already more rugged then this phone. IP68 and MIL-STD-810

ericshmerick

Until you gently lay it on the table and the camera glass cracks.

Bacillus

Yeah but with gorilla glass 3 on the front do you really believe that

In a TPU case

I was very surprised LG didn't use this song in their promos? They used it for the G4 or G3 and NOT the G6?! Fail!

someone755

They did?

Oh then that explains why they were horrible phones.

I never liked edge display, really want it to be available outside US. 😢

fredric

The edge schedule on the Note 4 and all the way to S6 were unconvincing and didn't feel good at all.
The S7 and S8 got it much better and they feel much more natural and easier to use for me.
Chances of unintended touches are greatly reduced between the old and new Edge designs.

Ash

Still I always prefer flat screen

Marty

Looks like a G6.

Zsolt V

No, this one has a properly curved screen, unlike the G6

Marty

Looks flat, dude.

Zsolt V

Rounded, sorry.

thereasoner

I wouldn't mind if it were on the "hefty" side, you don't need a case.

So the S8 should be considered the S8E while the active is what a regular S8 would have looked like.

abqnm

If you had added a TPU case to it.

Semianonymous

"looks like a G6"
And what, praytell, were you all expecting a flat phone at 18.5:9 with minimal bezels to look like?

Who's dropping phones? The last phone I dropped was my iPhone 4 in 2010, and it was perfectly fine after that.

Not buying a phone because it failed in a drop test is just stupid...

erptastic

Well there are different needs for a phone. If you use it at work, while travelling or doing sports it may get dropped more easily.

Zsolt V

Failed what drop test? You mean it was dropped off the top of the Empire State Building and it failed or was it dropped from 1cm and it failed? Could you point me to this scientific test this phone failed that other normal phones pass, proving it's frailty (not sensitivity).

abqnm

Now, the big question...

The 4th button:

Bixby or Customizable ?

In the past the Active line again had an extra button and you could program it for what you want. But as we don't see 5 buttons here, that means either it's still a custom button that may be set by default to Bixby, or they'll just double down on Bixby and say screw the enterprise user that uses the convenience key for something important.

ericshmerick

Hard coded to S-Health. They really want you to use S-Health.

blindexecutioner

Looks like a flat screen. It's already the best S8. That tall looking display is dumb though.

saf1927

If the normal GS8 had a flat display like this, it would have been a lot more appealing. This one is halfway there due to the obvious "Active" characteristics that take away the beauty.

Camilla Russo

Looks like a g6.

David

As long as the active button is customizable, I'll get it. Otherwise, I'll wait for s9 active. I'm perfectly happy with my s7 active.
